I recommend Father Kieser’s memoir “Hollywood Priest.” He gives a history of the series and tributes to all the actors and technicians and writers who made the series.
I am no De Foucald, but, like him, I was a restless young man until I settled down as a Brother of the Christian Schools. So glad the Hound of Heaven found me!
De Foucald's death does not appear to be accurately described. In wiki: "On 1 December 1916, de Foucauld was dragged from his hermitage by a group of tribal raiders led by El Madani ag Soba, who was connected with the Senussi Bedouin. They intended to kidnap de Foucauld. However they were interrupted by two Méharistes of the French Camel Corps. One startled bandit (15-year-old Sermi ag Thora) shot de Foucauld through the head, killing him instantly. The Méharistes were also shot dead.[21] The murder was witnessed by sacristan and servant Paul Embarek, an African Arab former slave liberated and instructed by de Foucauld."
Watched this two nights ago. I want to learn more about Foucuald. Efrem Zimbalist and Jane Wyman were excellent in this.

"Hollywood Priest" is now a feature documentary making the rounds at film festivals! Look for it to be streaming soon!
